More than 28,000 people used the services provided at the rehabilitation points set up by rescuers a week ago. Deputy head of the Emergencies Division Liviu Merzancu, in the June 27 meeting of officials of Chisinau services and divisions, said that the tents put up in the capital city were visited by over 10,000 people. More than 6,000 persons went to blood pressure measuring units opened at health facilities in Chisinau, IPN reports.

At the tents, the people can drink cold water, protect themselves from the sun and have their blood pressure taken, if necessary.
